EdgeWise by Squidhead Games Play Worlds, Not Rules

New Game!

EdgeWise is a fast, flexible, and simple fiction-first game with simple characters. It uses a simple dice pool mechanic where everything revolves around the character's capabilities.

Bring your setting, create some characters, and go!

Slingers by Squidhead Games A Rules-Lite Weird West Role Playing Game

New Game! I just released a new PWYW weird west TTRPG called Slingers. Included is a setting called Dead Man's Drift with locations, factions, NPCs, and rules for corruption from a mineral called ghost-iron. There's also solo tools!

I'm looking forward to another play test session of Slingers this week. It's a new weird west game I've been working on for a while. The first session went well with minimal changes needed. Lots more to test.

I'm working on a micro setting (9 digest pages) called Silverfort: The Last Outpost for my game Heroic Tales. I'm looking forward to playing some solo adventures in the setting to see how it goes.

Heroic Tales by Squidhead Games A rules-lite Fantasy RPG

I'm circling back to my fantasy game Heroic Tales to add a bestiary. It's getting close and I hope to upload it soon. Heroic Tales is a solo friendly, rules-lite system with classless characters, quick combat, and a flexible d6 dice pool.

I'm continuing to work on my game The Quick RPG by adding guidance for the referee and a couple of new rules. It needs more play testing, but it is coming along.

The Quick RPG by Squidhead Games Instant Action, Epic Tales

On #selfpromotesaturday, I'm going to plug my rules-lite game The Quick RPG. My goal was to make something that is super easy run, teach, and is solo friendly. It uses opposed rolls for everything and fail forward is built into the mechanics.

I see the photos are a little blurry. Here's the character sheet and rules as they currently stand. Play testing is needed! I'm testing Hero, Villain, and Conditions.

I am working on some fun changes to my rules-lite game The Quick RPG and challenged myself to fit the rules and character sheet onto a double sided 3x5 notecard. It sorta works!

All my stuff is free. If you're looking for fantasy, check out Heroic Tales (you only need d6's) and The Quick RPG (use all polyhedral dice other than d20).

There are a lot of other really good free games out there. Cairn is fantastic and free.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate it.

I also like the rounder version better, which isn't what I published.

I received some font feedback on my 36 Word RPG Game Jam submission, Smugglers. I'm looking for feedback on these two options. Stalinist One is the blocky font, Changa isn't as blocky. What do you prefer?
